Andreas Granqvist Leaves Ängelholms FF for Rival Trelleborgs FF
Andreas Granqvist has left his role as head coach of Ängelholms FF to join rival club Trelleborgs FF. The former player made the move after two seasons in charge where Ängelholm finished fifth in 2024 and ninth in 2025 in Ettan Södra. Trelleborgs FF recently suffered relegation from Superettan and hired Granqvist to spearhead an immediate push back up the divisions.
Documentary Captures the Turmoil of the Rivalry
Director Henrik Ringnér captures the fallout from Granqvist’s departure in his debut documentary “Drömmarnas liga,” which premiered on SVT. The production tracks the turbulent atmosphere in Ängelholm and focuses heavily on player ambitions. The narrative builds toward the 2026 season opener, where Granqvist led Trelleborg against his former club.
Diverging Fates in the 2026 Season
The 2026 campaign delivered sharply contrasting results for the two clubs featured in the documentary. Trelleborgs FF secured promotion back to Superettan under Granqvist’s leadership. Meanwhile, Ängelholms FF suffered relegation and dropped down to Division 2 fotboll.
Broadcasting Rights Shift to Viaplay
Viaplay won the broadcasting rights for the upcoming Skiing World Championships in Falun next year, along with the 2029 championships in Lahtis. The acquisition drew criticism on SVT’s website from viewers demanding free-to-air coverage for national sporting events. Sweden still lacks an EU-style event list protecting sports of major public interest from paywalls.
